Hey guys, I had a recent question related to monk fruit and stevia and arithurtral and

Zalatol, which one is the best, which one is the worst. So let's just talk about these four

sweeteners. Monk fruit and stevia and arithurtral all have a zero glycemic index, so they will not

increase insulin. Zalatol on the glycemic index is 30, so it's low, but it's still a little spike.

If you consume this one in small amounts, it should not be a problem. Now, I do use Zalatol

for a lot of different recipes, simply because it really tastes just like sugar. Okay, stevia has a

little bit of an aftertaste, but this is really good in things like like flavoring water and

carbonated water to make like a soda, and it's good in certain recipes. Monk fruit also has a

slight little aftertaste. It's really, really sweet, so you don't need much of it, but both of

these are very similar there. They kind of give a little bit of an aftertaste. They don't really

taste 100% like sugar, but they're good in certain recipes, but not in others. I don't really

use this one as much. I use stevia a little bit more. Now, arithurtol doesn't have the aftertaste,

but it definitely does not taste like Zalatol. It has more of a cold taste, a cold sweet taste,

but I still use this in a recipe because it's great to combine this maybe with this or these

two together and to have the right balance. Now, the other point about the arithurtol is sometimes

it's made from corn, which is GMO, so you want to make sure this one is non GMO. Okay, same thing

with Zalatol. You want this from Birchbark and non GMO. And if you're actually chewing gum,

make sure it's Zalatol gum, and don't worry about it interfering with your intermittent fasting.

It's not going to bump you out of ketosis. It's such a small amount. The gum that you don't want

to consume is the gum with aspartame. You want to avoid these artificial sweeteners. These are sugar
